Meanwhile, the gusty winds also caused a popular Redondo Beach music festival to delay performances.
The Beach Life Festival organizers announced on social media that there would be a one-hour evacuation from the location due to the blowing winds.
“Out of an abundance of caution, BeachLife is temporarily evacuating the festival for ONE HOUR due to high winds,” Beach Life Festival said in a statement. “Stand by.”
Sunday was the third and final day of the festival. Some of the artists scheduled to perform on Day 3 are My Morning Jacket, Sugar Ray, ZZ Top, and the Fleet Foxes.
The gusty winds also impacted a construction site in Hollywood. The Los Angeles Fire Department says a roughly four or five-story scaffolding structure was swept outwards by the wind, causing nearby power lines to be impacted.
Video obtained by KTLA from the intersection of North St. Andrews Place and Santa Monica Boulevard showed emergency responders keeping the area clear to ensure no one was injured.
